Since this invention is peculiarly adapted it-being understood however that the essential 4formed of'cast'metal and when they are in 1929. Seria1-Nc. 344,721.

foruse in applying adhesiveto the joint forming edge surfaces of thetwo halves of a` doll head, it has been illustratedand will now be describedin connection lwiththis use,

featuresof the invention are nevertheless equally adapted for use inapplyingadhesive to numerous` other'articles as mayV suggest themselves `from the nature of the invention. p Referring tothe drawings for describing in detail the invention as illustrated therein the reference character Lindicates `a suitable container within whichfa quantity ofliquid adhesive as lrmay be held. This container is shown as being supported within a boiler 2 beneath which is a heater 3 whereby the adhosive 1 may befkept at propertemperature Vand, consistency as in the caseof an ordinary glue pot.;` The boiler 2 is supported upon ,a framev 4: which carries a standard 5 within .whichis vertically mounted a slide rod 6 tothe lower end of which is fixed the adhesive carriers G and H.

A lever'7 is pivotally mounted by its mid portion as at S `upon the-standard 5.v One of its ends-is pivotally connected as at 9 with the slide rod 6, and its other end is pivotally connected as at 10 withl a link 11 which eX- tends downwardly into pivotal connection as at 12-with a foot lever 13.@ The foot lever 13 ispivotally mounted as at 14 .upon the frame t and a tension springas l5 is "connected thereto for urging itV normally to an upper -position against the Vstop l16 in which position the adhesive carriers are held normally submerged within the adhesive l as indicated by the full lines in Fig. l. p

AUpon depression of the foot lever 13,1`nove-l Anient thereof is transmitted through vthe link ll-andlever 7 to the slide rod for elevating the adhesive carriers out ofthe adhesive, to the position approximately as indicated by the dottedlines in Fig. 1f i VThe adhesive carriers yare preferably their normal submerged condition they of `courseabsorb heat from the adhesive so that when elevated out of theadhesive they retain heat sufficient' tojkeep the adhesive at proper'temperature for an* ample period to 100 material of the head adjacent the joint.

insure a proper consistency of the adhesive during the time while the members to which the adhesive is to be applied are being introduced thereto.

Any accumulation of congealed adhesive upon the carriers will be preventedV by the normal'submerged condition of the carriers, it being noted that during use the carriers will be moved into and out of submerged condition at frequent intervals.

The carriers G and H may be made up as two separate members connected together if desired, but for convenience are here shown as consisting of a single eastingwith the slide rod lG connected atntheir mid portion as by engaging within a socket 17 of the casting and being held by a set screw or the like as 18.

`In Aorder that the carriers are adapted to apply adhesive onto the edge surfaces as 19- 19 of the halves of a doll head as illustrated, said carriers are shown to each consist of a general ring shaped body portion 20 having anv outer surface contour 21 corresponding to the contour of the adjacent outer surface of the doll head part. An upwardly facing ledge 22 is provided upon this body upon which the doll head part may rest, said ledge being shaped longitudinally to conform with vthe edge surface of the doll head part and being slightly concaved so as to constitute an elongated pocket or channel 22 within which a quantity of the liquid adhesive may be retained when the carrier is lifted upwardly through the adhesive in the container L.

l In the instance illustrated, the ledge 22 of the carriers G and H differ from each other in their longitudinal contour due to the fact that the ledge of the carrier G is required to follow the contour of the edge of the back half member of the doll head while the ledge of carrier H follows the contour of the edge of the front half member of the doll head, the edges of the two half members of the head 'differing from each other, on account of the presence of the ear projection of the head in the usual manner, in order to mate together iii the finished head.

' Adjacent to the ledge 22 each carrier is shaped to provide a wall 23 arranged inwardly of the ledge and following the general contour thereof adapted to stand interiorly of the doll head and in sufficiently close proximity to the inner surface of the doll head so that adhesive adhering to said wall will be readily transferred in suflicient quantity to the adjacent inner wall surface of the head so that upon hardening it will constitute a desirable reinforcement of the The adhesive thus applied onto the inner surface of the doll head adjacent the edge surface 19 will of course also have the effect of better insuring an ample quantity of adhesive at the jointin the finished doll head.

Usngthis device, an operator standing in front of the machine illustrated in Fig. 1 and having the doll head halves one in each of his hands, merely presses the foot rllever 13 so that the adhesive carriers G and H are lifted from the container L dripping with the adhesive l. He presses the two doll head halves onto their respective adhesive carriers G and H so that the joint forming edges of said halves rest yupon the lecges 22, as indicated by the dotted lines 24 in ig. 2. He may retain his hand grip of the two halves, and he then simply lifts them and moves their joint forming edges together as for instance by first bringing them tothe position indicated by the dotted lines 25 and finally to the position indicated by the dotted lines 26 in Fig. 2. whereupon the assembled halves may be laid aside 'for drying in the usual manner. The carriers G and H may be lowered again into the container L for receiving` a fresh quantity of adhesive while the operator picks up another pair of doll head halves for repeating the operation.

Each time the carriers G and H are dipped into the adhesive the supply of adhesive within the concavity of the ledges 22, and upon the wallsv 23, is replenished, and the repeated dipping keeps the carriers at a proper temperature for preventing undesirable accumulations of adhesive thereon as above mentioned.

In order to facilitate the easy and convenient positioning of the doll head halves to their appointed places upon the ledges 22 of the adhesive carriers it may be desirable to provide suitable guide frames as 27 upon said carriers. These may have surfaces as 28 inclining toward the ledges adapted to be engaged by the doll head parts for guiding said parts tothe ledges. These surfaces 28 may be ma de to project slightly outwardly beyond the wall surfaces 23 as shown so as to have a closer guiding engagement with the inner surfaces of the doll head parts and so as thus to definitely insure a certain amount of space between said wall surfaces 23 and the adjacent surfaces of the doll head parts suitable to permit the presence of an adequate quantity of adhesive upon said walls 23 for transference to thev walls of the doll head parts. Likelihood of the adhesive being wiped off when the doll head parts are lifted from the carriers is avoided by the same means.

It will be understood of course that the contour of the ledges 22, and of walls 23, their size, shape, etc., may be modi fied indefinitely to conform to the surfaces of different articles which are to receive adhesive therefrom, according to the different uses to which this invention may be put.

VVhileit is herein stated that this invention is particularly adapted for the application of a liquid adhesive to various articles, nevertheless it will be understood that the essential features of the invention may be applicable to thep'lacing of paint orythe like of different colors 'on `different parts of the articles iffdesired. 1 i i.
